My late mother-in-law, Barbara Rossi, was a very talented and gifted artist and it was under her guidance that I came to realize my own artistic ability.

I was born in Romania and I came to the US in the late 1980’s. My husband and I have worked side by side over the years creating and developing a Web design and Internet Service company. As a web designer I work in various forms of media from illustration and layout to design, customer service, and site maintenance.

Photography and painting have always been close to my heart, and for as long as I can remember I have always taken pictures. My husband and I have four children and over the years my love of photography has enabled me to capture precious family moments that will live on forever.

My camera is such an integral part of my everyday life now, and I never leave home without it. I have developed a passion for seeking out beautiful imagery … regardless of the subject. I particularly enjoy using my camera to capture images of life in and around our hometown … Sayville.

As a resident, mom and business owner, I am involved with and support several community organizations: The Sayville Chamber of Commerce, The Common Ground, Women Sharing Art, the Pilot Club of Sayville, the Sayville Improvement Society Association, the PTA, American Legion Smith-Weaver Post #651, Bay Area Friends of the Fine Arts (BAFFA), The Greater Sayville Food Pantry and The Sayville Historical Society.

As a photographer I see images that I want to share, as an artist I feel images I want to see. For the time being I have had to put my paints and brushes away, but soon I will return to painting.
